    This place is a vibe! Absolutely stunning and intimate outdoor space with retractable roof and greenery that hides you away from the bustle of Washington Ave. The service was super attentive and worked as a team. I enjoyed the shepherds salad, and the mixed platter with pita. The pistachio was so so good as was the beets, hummus and tzatziki. For my main I enjoyed the grilled branzino.

    In an effort to avoid the party crowd and eat somewhere a little more quiet, I found this place not too far away from the beach. From the outside, it doesn't look like there is outdoor dining. However, the outdoor seating is actually surrounded by walls of greenery and a clear view of the sky during good weather. During bad weather, they extend the retractable roof. Indoor seating is available as well. Upon entering, there are two sparkling water bottles in every open table. These are not complimentary. They do provide complimentary hummus and bread. I ended up ordering the Grilled Branzino (Mediterranean). It tasted delicious and you can add pepper and salt (in grinder) if desired. My meal tasted delicious although I did find a few bones in my fish. The overall ambiance was excellent with the decor, view of the night sky, music, and occasional singing. The only bad part was its closeness to a busy road. Just a note that a service fee is automatically added to your check. This would be an excellent place for dinner if you want a break from the hustle and bustle of the beach crowd. I wouldn't mind coming back again.

    I passed by this place so many times every time I come to Miami but never paid attention. But I ended up making reservations for a Sat nite for my next visit here and I was not disappointed at all! The oysters was so fresh and the perfect size. So delicious!! Then I got the ribeye cooked medium and it was cooked to perfection! The ambience was beautiful and we sat outside and it was a perfect night out. So many other stuff I want to try on their menu so I will definitely be back!

    I enjoyed my meal and service at Kómma, but the menu was terribly overpriced. I ordered scallops, lemon potatoes, and one cocktail and walked out paying over $100. In most cases I want to enjoy not only the food but the ambiance and the character of a restaurant, but Kómma's flow was that of tables and chairs, nothing else. They have an outdoor seating area but it was cramped and narrow...to the point that the back of your chair would likely touch the person behind you when you got up to leave. I got the impression Kómma was trying to fit all of their tables outside. Kómma was conveniently located across the street from my hotel, The Goodtime Hotel, see my Yelp review. Overall I had a good experience at Kómma, but expected there to be more than just food for the price of the meal.

    A very loud spot but has great aesthetics. A good place to bring people who want that Mediterranean vibe outside and more authentic food. The food was alright for how much everything costs. Don't know if I'll come back but it was a good experience.

    Four stars for our wonderful server and the killer ambiance. The outdoor dining experience here is lovely and our server was so helpful and friendly. They even had belly dancers when we were there on a Friday! The food, however, is pretty eh, imo. Very few vegetarian options unless you want pasta. And everything is very pricey for the quality. I paid $15 for a dip and it didn't even come with pita. I was still hungry so ordered some $15 truffle fries. They vaguely reminded me of McDonald's fries. Don't get me wrong - I love McDonald's fries. But maybe not at this type of restaurant for this price. On the whole a fairly nice experience because of the setting. But you could certainly pay the same and enjoy better and more food elsewhere.

    Was a little dissapointed with this restaurant as I had better expectations however I should have realized that is south beach which means touristy if you know what I mean. The restaurant atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, the outside seating is great as they have a retractable sunroof. Fridays and Saturdays does have a belly dancer which is great and fun. The drinks were okay presentation on the drinks was good , however for a simple drink the delivery time was quite long for a restaurant that was not busy whatsoever. Servers were still ok not sure if there was a language barrier or anything however they were not really friendly or helpful. Food was were things went south everyone in my party of 10 ordered very different things from the menu and everyone somehow managed to not like it to say the least the lamb chops were very dry , the salmon was delivered cold and nothing really stood out as far as the food. Unfortunately as beautiful as the place is I wouldn't come back for dinner here perhaps just for cocktails.

    The little patio area that's sheltered by greenery with an automatic roof was a fantastic little recluse from the craziness of South Beach - which is funny because someone was getting arrested right outside the restaurant. We ordered a couple of appetizers, meat combo platter, and a shareable dessert. Everything was incredibly delicious, especially the meat platter and the dessert. Service was incredibly friendly and fast. Would definitely come back here again!

    We loved the happy hour drinks and appetizers. We had two drinks each and they were both great. One drink was the Apersol and the other was Quite a pickle. We also had the pita and hummus platter as well the calamari. The calamari was the best I've had in Miami . Also the staff was very friendly and accommodating as soon as we walked in. So we definitely thought dinner would have been phenomenal since we started off so good. Well we were sadly disappointed with our dinner and took a long time to come. We ordered the whole grilled branzino and lemon potatoes with asparagus. The fish was dried out and not tasty. The lemon potatoes was slightly under cooked and the asparagus was overcooked. So I wouldn't recommend dinner but I would go back for the happy hour and appetizers.

    I can't say enough about how much I loved this restaurant! The location incredible especially if you're staying at the good time hotel. The service remarkable. Everyone was so kind and welcoming and warm! The ladies at the check in station took photos with enthusiasm for me. They didn't hesitate to make it fun. The food! OMG! The food! I couldn't decide what to order because everything looked incredible. I started with a greek salad. When I went to Greece I felt like pure sunshine was inside the veggies in the salad and here in Miami I had the same experience. I can tell everything was fresh. I followed with the salmon and opted for lemon potatoes. Oh goodness I danced eating each bite! Danced! So flavorful. Perfectly cooked. Well seasoned. Bright, fresh. Beautiful. The cocktail I had which is pictured I unfortunately can not remember the name but it has lychee and maybe you can show the photo if you want to try it. It was so so so good! I had a cocktail to start that came with a little magic moment (I won't ruin it for you! You must experience) and with my meal I had a refreshing crisp glass of white wine it was a Greek wine! Perfection. If I didn't have plans I would've stayed so much longer because the ambiance is so divine. This is ideal to eat alone (I did and felt totally comfortable), a group, a big group, a date, a business meeting-truly any occasion. I'm so glad I saw this restaurant. It's a must visit again for me! After all any chance I get to walk a red carpet into a Grecian paradise I'm taking it!

    Our family, party of 8 celebrated my son-in-law's birthday at this restaurant. We made reservations at around 4 for 8pm on a Saturday and all went smoothly. The beautifully decorated arched entrance is accessible from the street corner with hanging colorful mosaic lamps that transported us across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea. The hostess asked if we preferred a rectangular or round table outside, and we chose the round in the middle of the outdoor space. The music was authentic, upbeat and set at a volume that was perfect to enjoy and not interfere with our conversations. The staff was welcoming, the appetizers were exquisite, the food tasty and the desserts divine. For the birthday boy, they added a sparkler which was impressive which was very nice. The restroom in need of a little tlc, is located a bit far from the outdoor sitting area which gave me a chance to take in the well planned interior and vibe. There were some guests seated at tables in the indoor bar area but for the most part it was empty. I assume it was intentional due to the current pandemic protocols. When it was time to pay, our server explained their credit card system was down. Our choices were to leave our cc info to have them run it through later or pay cash. Luckily, we gathered the cash amongst all of us without having to search for an atm. We had a nice experience overall. :) Follow me on Instagram @puravidacoach

    Such a fun vibe! The staff is so friendly and goes above and beyond to make you happy. Ferdinand the bartender got the party started. Drinks were tasty and the menu items were priced really balanced. I highly recommend!

    The food is tasty and fresh, though slightly on the saltier side tonight. My friends got there before me. The hostess said they could not seat us without the whole party present. So my friends a called me and as I was running late I told them I'll cancel and they should seat without me - I'll catch up with them another time. They proceeded to sit my friends with an oversized table, prompting my friends to call back and say come anyway. This made me later as I already turned around. When I got there the place was not even half capacity. So quite a silly policy in my opinion. The food came out pretty fast. I liked our server, but my friends felt he was hard to understand and spoke to fast. He could have been more attentive in passing by, but when he was around he brought great energy with him. I think perhaps they were a bit short staffed that night. Prices are on the higher end, but you are paying for a Miami Beach restaurant and a nice indoor or outdoor area. The food was all quality; I particularly always enjoy their grilled pepper that comes with the kebabs. The octopus was fresh and cooked right as was the kebabs. I do like this place and have visited a few times over the years. The Miami spice is priced right, otherwise it's more than you'd pay for similar dishes and elsewhere.

    Only about 8 people here right now.  It's a rainy Sunday... even Floridians don't like to brave the rain

Our entire meal consisted of listening to them in the phone and talking so loud to each other and their server we could hear every word! This rude and annoying behavior overshadowed the meal and left us very frustrated and annoyed. If you are going to require certain attire (although several guest came in while we were there who had on shorts and flip flops) and charge very high prices, you should have a cell phone policy in place and redirect guest to step outside or leave if they feel the need to FT their family for 20-30 min. We spent well over $200 on a meal for two and it was one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had. The enjoyed the food we ordered except for the French onion soup which I sent back. The Burrata Caprese was fresh but could have used a few more tomatoes and my husband really enjoyed his steak. I chose not to order anything once my soup was returned because we wanted to leave as soon as possible. Over all the service was good and most of the food was too. Unfortunately, there are those who'd have no regard for their environment and those around them which makes others experience negative! The manager and severs were aware of what they were doing too as they walked by a few times and looked at them. But failed to intervene and for that they get two stars.
